Congrats!!!!

Thank you! Its been a struggle, we both kind of directly AND indirectly sabbatoge one another at weight loss. We also both have a weakness for going out to eat ALL.THE.TIME so that has to change. The weird thing is, we both totally know how to cook. No wager really, just some good old fashioned faith in one another. He has been so supportive of me in this process. He trusted my decision to do it because he knows I would never do something like this just on a whim. Hell, I've never even been into a hospital for myself before (minuts the time I thought I had gallbladder issues but it was a pulled muscle). I've certainly never had surgery. He's just been so supportive that I really wanna give back to him by assisting his weight loss in any ways that I can and (this is by his own admission) holding him accountable for working out at the gym 4-5 times a week. Even if I can't go. I just kind of feel like we're standing on a precipice together and life 2.0 is what we're looking out at. I'm excited.

Oh, here's a pic of us... and of course I am hiding behind him. I'm sure yall know how it is.

Awesome progress man. You and I have pretty much the same goals. I'm 355 and want to get down to 225.

I'm not posting my pic next! LMAO Not after that hottie.

Welcome. I'm Alan, nice to meet you.

haha hey I just want in on the fun too.

These meals look great however they are only being sold in select stores in Texas.

Love it! Printed this out. Thank you

I had a friend who has this issue and her doctor told her to eat probiotics (some yogurt) and she said it cleared up right away.

It's your life. If you're not happy leave him and find a life/you/circumtance that makes you shine the brightest. It sounds as if you're already checked out. This surgery will change you completely. Either he shape up or ship out.

Thanks guys... it's been a pretty interesting journey so far. I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I havent been sleeved yet but I have been approved and my surgery date is on Sept 10th. Im pretty excited and nervous all at the same time. I am stoked to find a LGBT section to spend some time in. I've been in the mens forum and all they ever want to talk about is their weiners, which dont get me wrong I am okay with but honestly I think those guys are just baiting the horny women that lurk in the mens section (which I find a little passive agreesive/creepy) but to each their own. lol

Hey everyone, I am in Atlanta as well. Well, Sandy Springs. My surgeon is Scott Steinberg with Decalb Medical. Is anyone still around here?

hahaha I dont get sleeved till next month, ILL TAKE IT!

Hi Nickie, welcome. You're very pretty!

Oh THANK GOD I was beginning to think I was the only gay in the house! Hey guys, I'm Alan. I am getting sleeved on Sept 10th. Anyone here from Atlanta?

It takes nicotine 3 days to leave the bloodstream. You'll be fine.

Congrats!! Time will fly by.

I am scheduled for September 10th. We're all in this together!

I live in Atlanta and my surgery is 9/10.

I'm white as white can be and when I have ANY cut or skin laceration it takes FOREVER to go away and I scar. Well first its red forever. I have a cut on my arm that my cat gave me and no joke it stated red for a year and left a permanent mark and it was just a surface cut. I will probably have incision marks forever honestly. I think those who healed up nice and quickly are using witchcraft or its just plain genetics. lol

Plus I am pretty sure this mens forum is soley designed for men to talk about their weiners.

At 33 and even at 355 pounds and not sleeved yet this happens to me Oh boy I cant wait till I DO get sleeved!

When you start playing around with recipies please let us know which ones worked out best. I have my surgery on Sept 10th so you're kind of blazing the way for me. lol

I read that ricotta cheese is perfectly acceptable and tastes great with some salt and pepper. Also refried beans.
